Evan, Here is a follow-up to the previous advice I posted on channel usage. This listing, from the Bellingham (WA) Yacht Club, of Canadian Marine VHF channels indicates Channels 68 and 69 are designated for "INTERSHIP & SHIP-SHORE Pleasure vessel" use: http://www.byc.org/weather_radio/vhfchannels.htm I believe they would be the appropriate channels for kayakers to use to coordinate travel, etc. Note this does not mean they should be used for "recreation," in the sense of just gabbing. The idea is that these are for pleasure boat - to - pleasure boat communication. I'm not sure this listing is up to date. It does not indicate Channel 6 as a common working channel, which is common usage where I have paddled in BC. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
